# Planning Board - September 17, 2026

The Planning Board meeting held on September 17, 2026, primarily focused on the continued public hearing for the Chick-fil-A site plan and special permit applications at 2 Wall Street. The board discussed a third-party peer review of the traffic impacts, including trip generation data comparisons with other Chick-fil-A locations, and the need for traffic signal retiming to accommodate increased traffic volumes. Significant concerns were raised about emergency vehicle access, particularly fire truck circulation within the site, with the board requesting further clarification and data from the applicant and fire department. The applicant indicated prior coordination with the fire department and MassDOT, but the board emphasized the need for additional information and conditions to ensure public safety and traffic flow. The board voted to continue the matter to the October 1, 2026 meeting to allow for further review and responses. Additionally, the board agreed to continue discussion on Town Center design guidelines to the next meeting. No contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this session.
